Learn new words by talking
Words are taught out loud and then asked about — which is a different thing from being shown a list.
A child who reads a word learns to recognise it. A child who has to say it, and be understood, learns to use it. Every word game here works the same way round: Jubbo says the word and what it means, and then your child has to produce something — the word itself, its spelling, or a sentence containing it.
The ladder is per child and it only moves forward. A word that was missed comes back in a later session, never the same one, so a child is not stuck being asked the same thing until they get it right.
For the youngest children the meaning is given in the language you speak at home, because a three-year-old cannot learn “huge” from a definition in English.
Word Lab
Ages 3–5 · about 6 minutesFirst English words, explained in the language you speak at home.
One word, what it means in your child’s own language, and one picture of it — all in a single breath. Then your child says it back. If it did not come through, Jubbo says it once more and takes whatever comes.
Vocabulary
Ages 6–15 · about 10 minutesNew words taught first, then checked.
Jubbo teaches a word — what it means, and a sentence using it — and comes back to it later in the session to ask. Words your child missed return in a later session, not the same one.
Spelling Bee
Ages 6–15 · about 8 minutesJubbo says a word and what it means; your child spells it out loud.
The word, a short meaning, and a sentence it fits in — then “spell it, all together”. One retry, and if it is still not there Jubbo spells it: “huge is spelled H. U. G. E.”
Say It In English
Ages 6–15 · about 8 minutesJubbo asks in your language; your child answers in English.
A short sentence in Hindi or Gujarati, then a pause, then your child says it in English. Word order is the point, so Jubbo never repeats a mistake back — it says the sentence properly and has your child say it once more.
Needs Hindi or Gujarati as the language spoken at home.
